I thought that the last few minutes of the episode showed some promise, so I'll watch at least one or two more.

Seriously? I felt just the opposite; I nearly pulled the plug after it ended...

Yes, I'm a sucker for WTF moments like

Spoiler:

The ex-wife doctor recognizing her own handwriting on the wall, and (in an earlier episode) the facility administrator removing his contacts to reveal glowing blue eyes. Even though I recognize the rest of the show is as appealing as having your face gnawed off by CGI plague rats while convulsing, those WTF moments do keep me coming back.

Last night's episode (1/31 "The White Room") actually interested me. Smart people are still doing very dumb stuff but now I'm really curious about wtf is going on with the mysterious Dr. Hataki. Looks like I'm sticking with this show for a while.

Yeah, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on. I'm not sure how it will (can) all come together, but I'm willing to wait a little longer and see if they're at least headed in that direction (instead of just throwing interesting stuff out at random and hoping it will all work out in the end, which is an M.O. a certain producer of this show used on a certain other show).

Missed a great opportunity for Billy Campbell to say, "You know what? From now on I order everybody to tell everybody else everything, so this sort of $#!& doesn't keep happening." But I suspect that would require a level of self-awareness among the writing staff that probably doesn't exist.

1) the screams from the monkey field fire - that could open up the possibility anything (anyone?) already dead might be back.
2) the inconclusive db search for dr. hvit has me wondering what that's all about.

we'll see if it continues to keep me interested - for now, i'm still in.

AH.....I've been waiting for you to convince me to stick with it. I have this one recorded, so I'll give it another shot...

I think the show is benefiting from the relative drought of new programming these days. If it had started in the fall when there are a ton of shows on every week and I'm looking for an excuse to drop shows, or now when the current episodes would be landing in such a time, I wouldn't be watching any more. But there's barely enough that's potentially interesting in the show to keep my hopes from completely evaporating, and enough hours in the week to watch it, so I'm still in for now.

How's that for a stellar recommendation?

I agree with this

I'll take it and watch the latest ep tomorrow!

Since we now know that Jaye was Julia's hallucination, I'm betting odds that her childhood wall writing can be dismissed the same way (hope it isn't tho), and I wouldn't leave it past them that stabbed Hatake could be one too.

I still am enjoying the show but I am finding it oddly interesting they are killing off the major characters.

They need to make room for these guys:

Is Jaye a hallucination bit. From the start, I was convinced that she wasn't really there and the show dropped hints to suggest that I was right. Then she started interacting with the environment (supporting Dr. Hitake, using a flashlight, the jacket compress, etc), and I resigned myself to being wrong. Then they did the Reveal and, in it, explicitly refuted those very moments. They got me. And they did it much better than it was done in another show that I can't figure out how to reference without giving a major spoiler for that show's entire season, so I'll leave it nameless.

For the moment, I'm glad I stayed around. It's not great, but it is definitely a step above Meh.

Same. I thought I recalled them saying something about that since Bailiseros didn't report in, they would be coming. Whomever 'they' is, I'm thinking they're going to be the really bad people instead of the just so-so bad people we have running things now.

I was shocked to find out in the last episode that there's a town, complete with children and a sheriff a short distance away from the top secret biomedical virus lab. I figured the whole point of such a place was to locate it away from population centers. Furthermore, I didn't think there were towns in Antarctica (am I remembering the setting correctly? It is the Antarctic and not the arctic?)
